|---|---|---|
| OCR for claim documents | Extract text and fields | Human review before claim decision |
| Evidence triage | Flag missing or inconsistent evidence | Agent confirms next action |
| Customer support | Answer routine questions | Escalation path to human support |
| Pricing simulations | Compare scenario outputs | Management approval of live rates |
| Fraud signals | Highlight unusual patterns | Investigation before adverse action |
Responsible AI
Human accountability stays central
AI should support underwriting, pricing, claims, and settlement teams. Sensitive insurance decisions should remain explainable, auditable, and governed.
- Human-in-the-loop review
- Privacy and consent
